lirik lagu james yorkston & the second hand orchestra - a very old-fashioned blues
[verse 1]
robert’s in the sin bin
he’s got a very old~fashioned blues
singing karaoke with mary magdalena
and i dare not ask the question
should a note arrive
ah, the fear, it never leaves you
we regret to inform you
[chorus]
oh, you are good and young and sweet
but the company you keep is the devil
and what could possibly attract you to this?
come and talk with me, i have a system and my brother
you need some looking after, as if i’m some kind of saint
just have another drink and we’ll live happy ever after
[verse 2]
and this love is for you, dan
addiction isn’t for everyone, it seems
and i hate to see you hurting, cracked
i knew amy a little, did you know that?
we shared no bedroom, just lipstick, regret and cigarette
she was the belle of the ball
but she knew the terror, she knew the terror
[chorus]
good and young and sweet
but the company she kept was the devil
and what could possibly attract her to this?
come and lie with me, i have no system, and my brother
i need some looking after, as if i’m some kind of saint
just have another drink and we’ll live happy ever after
[instrumental]
[bridge]
and hoping you would follow
i took the walk outside
oh, d~mn those hopes of mine
i should have blackened his eyes, blackened his eyes
[chorus]
good and young and sweet
but the company we keep is the devil
and what could possibly attract you to this?
don’t lie to me, i have no system, and my brother
i need some looking after, as if i’m some kind of saint
let’s have another drink and we’ll live happy ever after
[chorus]
good and young and sweet
but the company we keep is the devil
and what could possibly attract you to this?
come and lie with me, i have no system, and my brother
i need some looking after, as if i’m some kind of saint
let’s have another drink and we’ll live happy ever after
[outro]
and this love is for you, dan
it’s a very old~fashioned blues
